Hidden charges

This app tries to pull money from Apple account and when you attempt to search it out to stop it you will not find it listed ANYWHERE. My credit card company blocked them so when they pulled the same stunt this morning it was BLOCKED AND I was able to get a screenshot of the transaction attempt from them for $18.99 like they have done monthly for over a YEAR and denied it because it “doesn’t show up on the Apple account charges”. Apple would not do anything about it either for the same reasons. My credit card company is now filing fraud charges against this applications team for theft by Deception as they have taken over $220 in the last 12 months. $18.99 monthly and another $9.99 quarterly for “account service fees” because I complained about the same fraud happenjng and when I would call if they had to put on an “agent” the conversation would start out with “this agent is a 3rd party who is responsible for the final decision on this call. All his without even knowing why I was calling yet. The second I hung up my card was got nailed for $9.99 for arbitration for … Kami Vison LLC. WELL AVIOD THIS SCUM OF AN APP. if you made the mistake of buying The Kami cameras just know that a simple factory reset to them and they will pair to any Gemini app developer apps which are totally FREE. WHO BUYS A $100 camera only to have to pay $18 a month PER CAMERA just for 24 hr non continuous footage. It’s even crazier for 5 cameras for full footage like ring does. I hope the people who are stealing the money from Apple accounts and FLAT OUT blocking it from showing up on your Apple accounts END UP WITH A NICE NEW Cellie who has a lifelong sentence and a 3rd leg

Extrem viel Werbung

Ich habe nichts dagegen, wenn hier und da Werbung geschaltet wird, aber es wird bei dieser App einfach übertrieben. Zudem erfindet diese App alles an Problemen um dir ein Abo zu verkaufen z.b. soll angeblich meine SD Karte nicht mehr funktionieren, habe diese versucht zu erneuern und zu formatieren aber nach 1, 2 Tagen das selbe Problem. Ich werde die Kameras gegen andere austauschen und diese App endgültig löschen. Nie wieder, und dafür habe ich auch noch Geld bezahlt.

Horrible app

I bought a pair of cameras a couple of years with sd slots so I don’t have to buy and have my images stored on a server somewhere. About 6 months ago ads started popping up. A few here and there but now it’s so horrible every click an add pops up. There’s even an add on the bottom constantly running and sometimes pops up and covers about half the screen. There are no other apps to use my camera with. Greedy company.

It just became a platform to spread scams via overbearing advertising

I used it for years on half dozen cameras (good quality otherwise) but now it practically lost any functionality due overbearing advertising you can’t even skip as the skip button will just take to install the 3rd party scamy apps. Almost like they want to have customers move on to a different manufacturer

Infested with ads

Almost every action brings up a fullscreen ad, just so I can use hardware I already paid for. This is especially frustrating when something is time sensitive, which is a serious use case for security cameras.

Adware.

The app is hijacked by ads. When starting or accessing the app, you’ll be inundated and delayed by timed ads. You’d better not be faced by emergency or any sense of immediacy

Once in the app, every tap done in effort to access your video will result in a pop up urging you to subscribe to their service.

Charges

Big confusion on charges. Reached out via email due to trying to charged multiple times in one month. Sent in proof no response. The customer service isn’t clear on where to purchase subscriptions being that it’s an option to pay through app/Apple account but was told to purchase from direct website.

works good no ads

Terrible customer service

I have tried to cancel my subscription since June and have requested my account not be charged and all I get from the automated reply is they want to offer me free months or the option to pause my subscription. After I was charged AGAIN in July, I sent another message to cancel my subscription only to get the same automated message. I said I did not want to pause my subscription and to stop charging me. This is August- 3 months from my initial cancellation request and they dinged me AGAIN for the monthly fee! My debit card expires next month so maybe that’s the only way I can actually get this to stop! This is a scam….

Useless

Never picks up big things like cars but always notices a moth. Constantly trying to get you to upgrade despite already paying for a subscription. Don’t waste your money

Реклама

Самое полохое приложение!!!! Сплошная реклама. От флешек запись типо отваливается хотя в другом приложении все работает!

Good Cameras Ruined by Forced Ads

I used to think the Kami app was good, which is why I bought six Yi/Kami cameras. Unfortunately, the experience has gone downhill.

Now the app forces users to watch video ads, even though we already paid for the cameras. At the same time, the app itself has barely improved in years. The features and functionality remain largely unchanged, and the overall user experience is not good.

It is very disappointing to buy multiple cameras and then have advertising forced into an app that is required to use the products.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend buying Yi or Kami cameras or other products.

Horrible app that wants your money

There’s not even a button that lets you unsubscribe the service, and every time you contact support to cancel the subscription, you get an idiot response that tries to convince you to keep the service. I’m contacting apple to investigate in this. It’s against federal law to not provide customer a direct button to unsubscribe from the service. Horrible app!

Kami and yi app login mix-up

Not happy

Too many ads

Maddening support

Death spiral of avoidance and delay tactics when trying to cancel service. The worst ever.

The worst

Poor responses to customer service. It’s virtually non existent. I’m being charged for 3 different plans and none of the work properly. I despise these people.

Update
So what they offered months later was a discount on more expensive plan. What kind of idiot does that. How about you stop triple charging me frickin’ scammers

Yvlack

I paid and it shows subscription paid but it’s not recording.

Poor

Used to be a good app, so paid for the year to get extended video benefits. Cancelled well in advance yet they still took the full payment and refuse to refund it. Have lost confidence in their customer service now.
